Mr Smiley and Dangergirl will be in Portland this named weekend and are lookin' for action!!!
Not sure what our schedule will be yet, but the Jasmine Tree and ALibi are on the list. Oh, and a definate stop for food at Waddles-oh, that's right--it has been BULLDOZED by Krappy Kreme donuts!!! Damn Donut bastids!!!
The best donuts in Portland are....VOODOO DONUTS near downtown. I hear a maple-bacon bar (or twelve) calling my name! Zazz-i-licious!

UPDATE:FRIDAY February 11
8:30 pm - 10 dinner and karaoke at Alibi (encourage people to show up earlier to reserve seats)
>10-11 JASMINE TREE drinks
>11-12: mini strip bar crawl? (mary's?) if people are interested.

MIDNIGHT-Voodoo donuts

The rest of the weekend it looks like we will be spending with family.

We'll be glad to have ya, Bruce! But personally, those bacon doughnuts creep me out. Now, a Cap'n Crunch doughnut, that's a doughnut! Voodoo, here we come! Might be a surprise guest or two in town when you come, too, if you play your cards right. And hey, might need to take a detour out to the fabulous Safari Club to see the artfully arranged taxidermy! Partay!

I'd love to hit the Safari-but may not have time. About how long would it take one way from Downtown?

Hey man, long time no post so I will answer this one. It is about 45 minutes ouside of P-town - one way. Long ass drive in the dark most of the way but worth a gander. Hope to see you. Oh and BTW - Sweet Onions are out of season right now - Poop!

Thanks for the heads up about Voodoo Doughnut. I did not know. But damn their greasy hides for not being open on Sundays! No doughnuts on Sunday? Are they some sort of heathens? I was so excited. So it's back to my usual Portland Sunday breakfast: Half a cold Royal Reuben from the Alibi.

503.241.4704

I don't wanna get this thread too far off topic so let me remind you all:

WHO:Mr Smiley and Dangergirl

WHAT: Will be

WHERE: In Portland

WHEN: February 11 & 12, 2005

WHY: Loookin' for action!!!

Now, back to Voodoo Doughnut:

Fellow travelers reported that the Big Doughnut was present and accounted for this past Saturday nite. (I was driving the getaway car, double parked.) We found the cake doughnuts dry, the raised ones fine and flavorable.

I remain haunted by the idea of a bacon maple bar. Some day I must make one mine.

I WAS haunted by the Bacon Maple bar until I had my first bite-now I am OBSESSED!!

As Mrs. Slocum would say, I am NOT unanimous in this obsession. I have enough high-fat high-carb obsessions already - I don't need one more!

I also don't like to "mix" foods. I'm very particular about that. I don't like oranges or cranberries on my salads, I don't dip breakfast sausages in maple syrup, and I probably wouldn't be keen on eating bacon and donut at the same time.

i think a bacon maple bar is net zero carbs.. the bacon offsets the flour.. almost certainly.

elicia

repeat after me "ZAZZ!!"

I loved that article... "(the owner) Shannon dropped the microphone and bolted outside 9the bar across the street), where police were escorting a handcuffed suspect out of Voodoo. Shannon exploded with anger.

"We will press charges to the fullest extent," he yelled as an officer reached out, urging him to calm down. You don't, he added, mess "with Voodoo's giant doughnut."

Fryer Jay announced that Voodoo Doughnuts would reopen at midnight after the pepper gas cleared out. Shannon gave the customer who first jumped to the giant doughnut's rescue a coupon for a dozen free doughnuts. And, down at Central Precinct, police cited 25-year-old Nathan Neiderbach on charges of second-degree theft and malicious mischief.
